Australian swimwear lovers often seek a specific blend: local design, unique style, technical performance, and undeniable good looks. One homegrown boutique label is delivering exactly that, and its latest release is making significant waves.
A Wearable Love Letter to the Ocean
The Australian boutique swimwear label Trend Ripple, renowned for its one-off drops and coastal minimalism, has just launched its most captivating capsule to date: the Octopus Collection. This limited edition range serves as a wearable love letter, celebrating the power, beauty, and mystery of the sea.
The collection's standout feature is its exquisite hand-painted octopus motifs. Each design is created with delicate watercolours and individually positioned across every piece, ensuring no two are exactly alike. It's a celebration of artistry and the natural world.
Craftsmanship and Flattering Silhouettes
Crafted in Brazil from a premium, glistening stretch fabric, the collection focuses on flattering silhouettes that empower the wearer. The range includes everything from modern Brazilian-cut bikinis to refined one-pieces with the label's signature cut-outs. Every item is designed to sculpt, shine, and boost confidence.
A key piece is the String Bikini Top White Octopus, priced at $109. This double-lined masterpiece offers versatile styling options; it can be worn as a classic halter neck or crossed at the front for a more fashion-forward look. Its matching partner, the High-Waisted Bikini Bottom White Octopus ($99), provides a flattering, no-see-through finish that hugs the body perfectly.
The collection's one-piece, retailing for $179, is destined to turn heads from Bondi to Byron Bay. It channels a classic, sultry energy with its Brazilian bottom cut, high leg, and open back, offering sophistication without nostalgia. Designed in Brazil from a luxe metallic-finish fabric, it proves that sexy can be synonymous with stylish.
The Aussie Founder's Brazilian Inspiration
Trand Ripple was founded by Caroline, an Australian woman based at Freshwater Beach. Having grown up in Brazil—the spiritual home of the bikini—Caroline was accustomed to an abundance of vibrant colours, patterns, and styles. However, upon moving to Sydney 17 years ago, she found that same variety was lacking.
This gap in the market inspired her to launch Trend Ripple. Today, the label is committed to sustainability, crafting its premium swimsuits from 100 per cent recycled materials. The Octopus Collection is the latest expression of her vision: merging Brazilian flair with Australian coastal sensibility.
As a limited edition, the Octopus Collection is a unique investment in artistry and ocean-inspired style. It encapsulates the desire for something distinctly Aussie, beautifully different, and technically excellent—all while looking and feeling exceptional on.
